As for the answer, no matter how Zhu Biao asked, Chu Ze just wouldn't say it.
Seeing that Zhu Biao couldn't ask, he simply stopped asking.
The two chatted for almost an hour.
Zhu Biao saw that the time was almost up and was about to get up and leave when he suddenly slapped his forehead and sat down again with an annoyed look on his face.
"By the way, there's one thing we almost forgot."
He came here not only to tell Chu Ze about Tiao Cheng, but also for a more important purpose.
Chu Ze was about to get up and see off the guests, but unexpectedly the guests sat back again.
Okay, keep sitting.
"What's the matter? Tell me." Chu Ze waved to Egret, asked her to add tea, and continued chatting with Zhu Biao.
Zhu Biao picked up the tea cup and took a slow sip.
After he had moistened his throat, Zhu Biao continued: "Now that autumn is approaching, the war against Japan has entered the final stage of preparations."
Chu Ze's expression was startled.
To be honest, if Zhu Biao hadn't mentioned it, he wouldn't have noticed that it was almost autumn.
They had already planned a time for action before, and it was autumn.
"So how prepared are all parties now?" Chu Ze asked.
Zhu Biao recalled the situation reported previously and said: "The soldiers and horses are ready, and the food and grass are also ready."
Because they were going to fight across the sea, the food and grass they brought with them was not particularly large.
Mainly at sea, everyone needs food.
The rest is to keep part of it as a reserve.
When it comes to that point, it is better to support war with war.
Even so, the food that needs to be prepared is not good either.
"Who is the coach?" Chu Ze asked again.
Zhu Biao: "Except Da."
Sure enough it was him.
They had prepared for him to go.
The sores on his back are now healed.
It's okay to go to war.
"Now wait... wait." A flash of light suddenly flashed in Chu Ze's mind, and he suddenly said to Zhu Biao, "Biao, do you have a telescope in your hand?"
He remembered that Zhu Yuanzhang said that he had made several of that thing.
Judging from Zhu Yuanzhang's love for him, Zhu Biao must have it.
Seeing Zhu Biao nodding, Chu Ze immediately said: "Then bring one for us."
"What do you want it to do if you stay in the house?"
"Of course I have to make something good. Anyway, bring one over."
If Chu Ze wants it, Zhu Biao will naturally not be stingy.
After Zhu Biao returned, he immediately ordered Jin's servant to send two of them over.
When the chamberlain delivered it, he specifically said: "We only have one Your Highness, and the other one was given by the Queen."
"My father-in-law has thanked my adoptive mother for us. When we are relieved of the ban, we will go to the palace to thank her." Chu Ze took some silver and stuffed it into the hands of the chamberlain.
The chamberlain took the silver and smiled so hard that his eyes narrowed into a straight line.
After seeing off the chamberlain, Chu Ze turned around and plunged into the study.
Telescopes are great and can allow people to see farther, which is perfect for long voyages.
But there is a problem.
The distance this telescope can see is a bit short. It's okay for fun, but there is room for improvement when used on the battlefield.
Chu Ze remembered that modern telescopes can adjust the focus.
In this way, you can see farther and see more clearly.
On the battlefield, whoever sees further means greater vitality.
But what to do with this focusing screw?
…
Half a month later, Chu Ze's restraint was lifted.
Chu Ze's front foot was released, and his back foot entered the palace.
When Zhu Biao received the news, he immediately put down his government affairs and went to find his father.
Chu Ze came, most probably because of Cheng's affairs.
He alone may not be able to convince his father, he has to help.
When Zhu Biao arrived, Chu Ze was taking Zhu Yuanzhang to test the telescope in the imperial flower.
This telescope was modified by Chu Ze, and a focusing screw was specially added.
It's just that the workmanship is a bit rough, like a lump growing on a tree pole.
Very unsightly.
But it works.
"Yes, Your Majesty, just turn it here." Chu Ze pinched one of Zhu Yuanzhang's fingers and turned it on the gear, "How do you think?"
Zhu Yuanzhang said "Hey" in surprise.
"It's really clear!"
Zhu Yuanzhang moved the telescope away, looked at the scenery in front of him, and then put the telescope in front of him.
The flowers and plants that were completely invisible just now seemed to be growing in front of my eyes.
It's like it's within reach.
"Chu Ze, you can do it. This is much clearer than the previous one." Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't put it down and asked Chu Ze, "How far can you see with this?"
"We don't know that. It's not like the Emperor doesn't know. We've been groundless during this period. There's only one high-rise building in the mansion, and the distance we can see is limited. So there's no way to be sure. If the Emperor wants to give it a try If so, why don't we find a higher place to take a look?" Chu Ze raised his eyebrows at Zhu Yuanzhang in an encouraging manner.
Zhu Yuanzhang was a little moved.
Just as he was about to take Chu Ze to another place to continue playing, he spotted Zhu Biao out of the corner of his eye.
Seeing Zhu Biao, Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes suddenly lit up.
"Biao'er, come here, let's show you something good." Zhu Yuanzhang strode towards Zhu Biao, pulled him to where he was standing, and explained it to his son in detail.
Chu Ze stepped away knowingly.
Don't go there and join in the fun of family interactions between other people's fathers.
Not long after, Chu Ze heard Zhu Biao's exclamation as he wished.
The father and son walked towards Chu Ze, one on the left and one on the right stretched out their hands and grabbed one arm each, pulling Chu Ze out: "Let's go, let's find a higher place and try how far this thing can see." .”
You can try, but can you not drag him?
Like a torn bag, Chu Ze was dragged by the excited two people to the highest building of the palace - the Star-Zhaing Tower.
Yes, the name is so unpretentious.
Chu Ze and the other three climbed to the top and began to test the telescope.
Give it a try——
Why!
You can actually see the Jubao Gate.
"Yes, it's much clearer than before. Chu Ze, how did you do this?" Zhu Biao turned his head and glanced at the young man who was leaning on the railing.
Chu Ze smiled proudly when he heard the sound: "Who are we? Is there anything we can't do?"
"Tsk, I complimented you a lot and you're still out of breath." Zhu Yuanzhang raised the telescope in his hand and said, "Hurry up and teach the people below how to make this thing. Before Xu Da sets off, he must make at least ten Come on, is it okay?"
"A cross?" Chu Ze said in an uncertain tone.
Zhu Yuanzhang frowned: "More? Then... nine?"
Listening to Zhu Yuanzhang's unwillingness to reduce one aircraft, Chu Ze smiled and said: "What we mean is that there are too few. There is still half a month before Shushuai's departure, so we can make fifteen aircraft no matter what. But it will be too refined." There’s no need to think about it, we’re mainly just taking a certain amount. As for the exquisite ones, we’ll think of ways to improve them when we go back.”
His time was too short, so he could only modify the previous things.
This telescope is a bit nondescript.
It works anyway.
I am very happy to be able to use Zhu Yuanzhang.
"Okay, then you go do it and we'll leave this matter to you."
